## Conditions for Genetic Models ##

Short explanation of the genotype calls in vcf format.

Since we only look at humans, that are diploid, the genotypes represent what we see on both alleles in a single position.0 represents the reference sequence, 1 is the first of the alternative alleles, 2 second alternative and so on.If no phasing has been done the genotype is an unordered pair on the form x/x, so 0/1 means that the individual is heterozygote in this given position with the reference base on one of the alleles and the first of the alternatives on the other.2/2 means that we see the second of the alternatives on both alleles.Some chromosomes are only present in one copy in humans, here it is allowed to only use a single digit to show the genotype. A 0 would mean reference and 1 first of alternatives.

If phasing has been done the pairs are not unordered anymore and the delimiter is then changed to '|', so one can be heterozygote in two ways; 0|1 or 1|0.

### Autosomal Recessive ###

For this model an individual can be a carrier, so healthy individuals can be heterozygous. Both alleles need to have the variant for an individual to be sick so a healthy individual can not be homozygous alternative and a sick individual has to be homozygous alternative.

1. If individual is healthy: * Can be a carrier so 0/1 is ok * Can have ref call or no call so 0/0 and ./. is ok * Can not be homozygote alternative, so 1/1 is NOT ok.

2. If individual is sick: * Can not be a carrier so 0/1 is not ok. * Can not have ref call 0/0 is not ok * Must be homozygote alternative so 1/1, 2/2, ... are ok if parents are heterozygotes, otherwise the variant follows follows Autosomal Recessive De Novo. * No call, ./., is ok since we can not exclude the model by this.

### Autosomal Recessive De Novo ###

Same as above but with the difference that one or both of the parents are missing the genotypes.

### Autosomal Dominant ###

Here it is enough that one of the alleles have the variant for an individual to be sick.

1. If individual is healthy: * Can not be a carrier so 0/1 is NOT ok * Can have ref call or no call so 0/0 and ./. is ok * Can not be homozygote so 1/1 is NOT ok.

2. If individual is sick: * Can be heterozygous so 0/1 is ok, should be found in any of the parents otherwise de novo. * Can not have ref call, so 0/0 is not ok * Can be homozygote alternative so 1/1, 2/2, ... are ok if parents are sick and heterozygote or affected homozygotes, otherwise the individual follows Autosomal Dominant De Novo.

### Autosomal Dominant De Novo ###

Same as above but with the difference that one or both of the parents are missing the genotypes.

### Autosomal Compound Heterozygote ###

Here we are looking at pairs of *heterozygote* variants that are located within the same gene. For two variants to qualify for being compound pair they have to be present together in a affected individual but can **not** be present together in any of the healthy individuals.So *one and only one*, variant should be found in each parent, otherwise the variant follows the pattern of compound heterozygote de novo.

One of the problems here is that a compound heterozygote can exist in different ways such that they can be deleterious or not. If we do not have the phasing information from the individuals, that is if we have not resolved on which alleles the variants that we look at are located on, we can not say if a pair is deleterious or not.

Right now this is how we do this:

1. If individual is healthy: * Can be a carrier so 0/1 is ok * Can have ref call or no call so 0/0 and ./. is ok * Can not be homozygote alternative, so 1/1 is NOT ok.

2. If individual is sick: * Can be a carrier so 0/1 is not ok. * Can not have ref call, 0/0 is not ok * Must make sure that each of the parents carry one (and only one) of the variants in the potential pair each. * No call, ./., is ok since we can not exclude the model by this.

### Autosomal Compound Heterozygote De Novo ###

Same as above but one of the variants are not seen in the parents.

### X Linked ###

These traits are inherited on the x-chromosome, of which men have one allele and women have two. This means that woman's can be carries but men get affected if they get the variant. It is rare that women get these type of disease since they have to inherit a variant from both parents which implies that the father has to be sick.

1. If individual is healthy: * If woman: can be a carrier so 0/1 is ok * If man: can not be a carrier so 0/1 is not ok * Can have ref call or no call so 0/0 and ./. is ok * Can not be homozygote alternative, so 1/1 is NOT ok.

2. If individual is sick: * If woman: can be a carrier so 0/1 is not ok. * Can not have ref call, 0/0 is not ok * No call, ./., is ok since we can not exclude the model by this.

### X Linked De Novo ###

Same as above but variant is not seen in any of the parents.
